Yep! I'm retired also. Wealthy? Not by a looonnng shot. My little Ford Ranger pick-up is six years old. The one I had before that was 11 when I sold it to a broker shipping used pick-ups to Mexico. I'm thinking about getting one of those new fangled Televisions that have color and something called a "remote". (Hey, that was a joke. ) When you hit your 60's, and the kids are grown and on their own, and the houseyou've lived in for 40 years is paid for, and your fortunateenough to not have big medical bills, you just kind of figure you ought to spend a little money on what you like - and I like to shoot.

EDIT: Oops. Almost missed the main topic completely. I have one .45 that I bought to play with. It's interesting and fun, but definitely not as versatile as a .50. Still, I'll be making a few hunts with it next season.
